Profile: Harrison got regular at bats down the stretch at third base as manager Clint Hurdle employed the "anyone but Pedro Alvarez" philosophy to fill out his lineup card. Not that Harrison did anything to earn it, though. He hit the most hollow .272 you're ever going to see, walking three times in 204 plate appearances, posting a .281 OBP and slugging .374. Harrison didn't do himself any favors by chasing 36 percent of pitches thrown out of the zone, but a big part of his lousy walk rate was pitchers pounding the plate against him. After all, why pitch timidly to a five-foot-eight hitter with modest pop? Possessing limited secondary skills and speed, Harrison has the upside of a fringe utility type. (David Golebiewski)

The Quick Opinion: Unless you're planning on drafting Pedro Alvarez and subsequently burying him on the bench as your team strives for fourth place, avoid Harrison.

Profile: Josh Harrison has two seasons in the 70s wRC+ range. He projects as the Pirates' super-utility man, and unless his decent minor league numbers translate perfectly into the majors, which they almost certainly won't, then his fantasy value should be relatively minimal. He has potential, but not without steady playing time. (Bradley Woodrum)

Profile: Over the past two major league seasons, Josh Harrison has played second base, third base, shortstop, left field, and right field. He’s versatile. He hasn’t walked a lot during his 229 career major league games (just 2.6%) but he doesn’t strike out a ton, either (12.3%). With the Pirates in contention, it’s unlikely Harrison earns a role larger than super utility player. If he gets in the lineup enough, and regains eligibility at shortstop, though, he may provide value to deep leagues. (Jack Weiland)

The Quick Opinion: Probably just a deep league waiver-wire pickup when injury thrusts him into a short-term starting situation, Josh Harrison is probably not worth thinking about on draft day.

Profile: Whaaaaaaaat? Harrison entered the 2014 season as a utility player with seven career homers, a .250 batting average and .283 weighted on base average. He then proceeded to shatter everything we thought we knew about his offensive ability and remind us how unpredictable baseball could be. While he has shown some semblance of power and speed before, his performance was aided by an inflated .353 batting average on balls in play. A 24% line drive rate certainly helped, but he had posted just a .275 BABIP before this year. He still rarely takes a walk, making him appear out of place as a top-of-the-order hitter. When his BABIP drops and brings his batting average down with it, there's serious risk he gets dropped to the bottom of the order. And that's the downside. But aside from that BABIP, nothing else seemed fluky. While everyone is sure they know that major regression is coming, there's a reasonable chance that he repeats his four category numbers, along with a sub-.300 average. That still makes him valuable and since most will be afraid to draft him, he could actually come at a fair price. (Mike Podhorzer)

The Quick Opinion: Harrison shocked us all by opening the season in a utility role and then ultimately becoming a top 100 fantasy player with his all-around contributions. The risk that his BABIP craters makes him a candidate for serious regression, but with good speed and respectable power, he should still earn some mixed league value.

Profile: Oh, how the Josh Harrison pendulum hath swung. From unknown commodity pre-2014 to wide-awake "sleeper" pre-2015 to practically ignored pre-2016, Harrison's value has gone for a wild ride. The present author does not feel especially fond of Harrison's skill set or productive capacity, but the fact of the matter is Harrison is one of the most underrated hitters entering the 2016 season, per early ADP data. Double-digit production in home runs and steals with a .285 average to boot is nothing to sneeze at. But, to revive the present author's concerns, it's a matter of Harrison proving 2014 was not a fluke -- something he failed to do last year. Pull rate and contact quality correlate well with isolated power; perhaps it's no surprise that when Harrison hit 13 home runs in 2014, his pull rate spiked at the same time his soft-contact rate bottomed out. So when the batted ball profile regressed toward something more characteristic of Harrison in 2015, so, too, did the home runs. This author acknowledges that the Josh Harrison that showed up last year is yet a lesser version of the actual hitter Josh Harrison is, but he simply doesn't share the same optimism Steamer does. Still, by any measure, Harrison is likely underrated quite a bit. His multi-positional eligibility and future permanent home at second base make him a risk-free bet at top 10 value at second base and a very thrifty gamble in deeper formats. (Alex Chamberlain)

The Quick Opinion: Josh Harrison had to prove his surprising 2014 was not a fluke; now, he has to prove likewise about his disappointing 2015. No matter which way you slice it, though, Harrison is highly underrated heading into 2016, offering top 10 upside at second base for pennies on the dollar in standard leagues.
